From left: Mr. Butch Noche, Representative, Palacio Village Corporation; Mr. Erickson Y. Manzano, President and CEO, Landco Pacific Corporation; Ms. June Cheryl Cabal-Revilla, Chief Finance Officer and Chief Sustainability Officer, Metro Pacific Investments Corporation; Mr. Manuel V. Pangilinan, Chairman, Landco Pacific Corporation and Chairman, President and CEO, Metro Pacific Investments Corporation; Hon. Peter Oliver Palacio, Mayor, Calatagan, Batangas; Mr. William Falgui, Representative, Palacio Village Corporation; Hon. Strike Revilla, Mayor, Bacoor, Cavite; Mr. Patrick C. Gregorio, Senior Consultant for Hospitality and Tourism, Landco Pacific Corporation.

“Our teams have worked hard for the past few months to complete these new and unique hospitality facilities at CaSoBe. We are truly proud of the Chairman’s Cabin for its exceptional features curated and customized for our Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan. We are also excited to open its doors, limited to its shared and common areas like the living room, kitchen, and adjacent rooms from Monday to Thursday only. With respect to Mr. Pangilinan, this does not include his personal and private space. We’d like our guests to have a glimpse of what it’s like to have an upscale beachfront residence at CaSoBe,” stated Landco Pacific Corporation and Millennial Resorts Corporation President and CEO Erickson Y. Manzano.

Chairman’s Cabin

The beachfront Chairman’s Cabin is launched as the crowning jewel of the leisure and hospitality attractions at CaSoBe, a haven for leisure seekers in a tourist community. This well-appointed 300-sqm villa is custom-designed for Mr. Pangilinan, Chairman, Landco Pacific and its parent company Metro Pacific Investments Corporation. With four bedrooms and modern amenities, the villa is versatile for relaxation, social gatherings, and business meetings. It also serves as the weekend beachfront home of Mr. Pangilinan.

Within a short two to three-hour drive from Metro Manila, and having a strong WI-FI connection and modern infrastructure within its vicinity, the Chairman’s Cabin is considered the favorite seaside residences of Mr. Pangilinan.

At this villa, a restful and productive weekend break for Mr. Pangilinan means an exclusive use of his private suite, access to fresh sea breeze, breathtaking sunset views, and enjoyment of Millennial Resorts amenities, balanced with work from the beach set-up.

For guest bookings, only the three bedrooms along with common area facilities of the Chairman's Cabin are offered from Monday to Thursday. The private suite is reserved exclusively for Mr. Pangilinan.

Cupola

Also launched were Cupola, a unique geodesic and dome shaped accommodation with its own toilet and bath, and private jacuzzi. Taking glamping up a notch, five units of Cupola are available for a luxurious beach getaway.

CaSoBe Lighthouse

Standing at 15.5 meters with a panoramic 360 degrees viewing deck, the CaSoBe Lighthouse was presented as the sprawling property’s newest landmark. It serves as a beacon to guide residents, tourists, and visitors to CaSoBe as the place they can call home.

Millennial Resorts Amenities

These new facilities complement the distinctive resort amenities already operational and managed by Millennial Resorts: Crusoe Cabins, the refitted container vans turned into accommodations with modern amenities and recognized as the first EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies)-certified resort in the country, and the pod-like Cocoons; Aquaria Water Park with three-story slides; the 300-capacity the Canopy events space; and Captain Barbozza restaurant.

CaSoBe

CaSoBe, is a master-planned development offering mixed-use residential and commercial lots situated in the rising business hub and beach tourist destination of Batangas. Setting it apart from other beach properties, CaSoBe elevates the resort lifestyle with inviting details such as blue roads, street art, and creative lamp posts.

The premium beach development is strategically located near golf courses, polo fields, and tourist attractions, earning Calatagan the moniker of being the playground of the affluent. Local facilities such as a hospital, public market, pharmacy, school, and chapel are likewise easily accessible.

All the lots at CaSoBe are literally within steps to the long stretch of powdery white sand beach. The property’s blue pavements are pleasing to the eye and in harmony with the environment of expansive clear skies and azure waters. There are tree-lined bike lanes and pathways parallel and leading to the shores.

Harbour Estates are mixed-use lots offered within CaSoBe. Entrepreneurs can live a healthy lifestyle and build their dream homes amid Calatagan’s rich history and famed sunset by the beach.

Transforming the landscape of Calatagan, entrepreneurs can invest in a property along the retail row and wear the hat of aspiring hoteliers or restaurateurs when they establish their bed and breakfast or cozy little café or restaurant to cater to the tourism market. They can also put up a shop for art workshops and yoga retreats, or a business for water sports enthusiasts.

CaSoBe is also poised to be a thriving creative, business, and tech community. Startup companies can engage in a collaborative and forward-thinking environment.

Investors in the residential or mixed-use lots of CaSoBe have the benefit of enjoying the anticipated increase of their investment’s market value as proven by Landco’s track record of property value appreciation in Punta Fuego, Batangas.

Landco Pacific and CaSoBe Awards

As a testament to its enduring commitment to providing high standards of leisure and resort developments, Landco Pacific was awarded the Best Leisure Real Estate (Resort Estate) Developer of The Year in the 2023 Global Economic Awards, and 2023 Real Estate Asia Award; Best Luxury Leisure Projects Developer in the 2023 Global Business Outlook Awards; and Most Sustainable Developer and Best Real Estate Developer in the 2023 International Investment Awards for the development of the BeachTowns.

These awards came after the prestigious Silver Award of Landco Pacific BeachTowns CaSoBe (Calatagan South Beach) for Outstanding Development in Luzon – Masterplan in the 2023 Property and Real Estate Excellence Awards by the Philippine chapter of the International Real Estate Federation (FIABCI), dubbed as the “Oscars of Real Estate,” which recognizes properties that best embody excellence in all real estate disciplines.

W Express is excited to announce its exclusive partnership with the Korean Visa Application Center (KVAC). This makes W Express the sole accredited courier service partner of KVAC for Korean tourist visa application processing and delivery services.

“This partnership marks an exciting new chapter for W Express. With our network of over 100 branches nationwide, we are thrilled to be of service to more Filipinos. By making this dream destination more accessible and convenient to reach, we are helping aspiring travelers and Korean culture enthusiasts turn their travel aspirations into reality.

Ahn Kyu Suk, KVAC Managing Director, expressed, “Partnering with W Express brings us immense delight as we work towards enhancing the visa application experience for Filipino travelers. This collaboration perfectly aligns with our mission to simplify and streamline the process, allowing applicants to concentrate on planning their trips rather than the logistics of visa application. We couldn't think of a better partner for this endeavor."

Earlier this year, the Embassy of the Republic of Korea unveiled initiatives to streamline the visa application process. Through this collaboration, Filipino applicants can now conveniently submit their Tourist Visa (C 3-9) applications at any W Express branch, eliminating the requirement for in-person submissions. Meanwhile, non-Filipino applicants and those applying for different visa types are still required to submit their applications in person.

The application and delivery fee of P1,900 per person is payable on-site; delivery fee is subject to change depending on location. The entire process, from the submission of your application to W Express to the delivery of your passport, usually spans 14-16 working days.
